Focus on the evidence. Preserve the evidence. Investigate and compare. JEOL scanning electron microscopes enable imaging and analysis of the smallest details in forensic microscopy. Investigators can calculate 3D measurements from stereo images, contrast and compare fine details, and determine elemental composition. With its large specimen chamber and automated eucentric stage, the InTouchScope series SEM can accommodate large pieces of evidence in their native state for both imaging and chemical analysis.

JEOL high throughput SEMs focus on the smallest details and enable both high resolution imaging and chemical analysis for crime scene investigation and accident reconstruction. The SEM provides forensic details regarding:
